We sit about and read the paper...

We read aloud, obviously. Mr Harvey likes to keep up with world affairs but he struggles to read the paper himself. So we set aside time to sit down and read out the articles that most interest him.

We work hard to learn exactly what it is that our clients like, prefer and enjoy, so that we can make the time we spend with them as fulfilling as possible.

That's care as it should be.

We Leave People at the Seafront...

Mr & Mrs Beagley like nothing more than a bag of chips at the front. We drop them off once a week and, weather permitting, they make their own way home on the bus.

Not all our services are based in the home. Getting out and about is important for many clients and we help in any way we can.

That's care as it should be.

We don't talk to Mrs G...

Well, not until she's has a cup of tea. As she says herself, she's just not much of a morning person and prefers peace and quite first thing. So we get on with making breakfast until she's ready for a chat.

It's often the smallest things that make a difference when it comes to caring for someone and we always try to find out what they are.

That's care as it should be.

We Drive Vera Around the Bend...

The library may only be a few hundred yards from her house, but Vera’s legs aren’t as strong as they used to be. So once a week, we give her a lift to her poetry group.

The likes, dislikes and personal preferences of our clients are a fundamental part of every Care Plan we create.

That's care as it should be.

We leave the washing up...

If there are ever any dishes to be washed in Mr Evans' kitchen, we leave them be. It's not that we wouldn't happily wash them up for him - it's just that he's quite capable of doing it himself and actually rather enjoys it.

Helping someone maintain their independence, in even the smallest of ways, can have a powerful effect on their wellbeing.

That's care as it should be.

We never cut the sandwiches...

Thing is, if you cut them, the jam can get out. If you fold the bread over instead, it's not nearly as messy. This may be true, but much more importantly, it's the way Mrs Cotton prefers her jam sandwiches to be prepared. So that's how we do it.

We go to great lengths to understand the way our clients like things done. We believe that good care should account for even the smallest details.

That's care as it should be.

Stay in your own home with the support and help you need

To most of us, home means peace, safety and the comfort of familiar surroundings. So being able to live at home for as long as we can, even if it means relying on others, can be vital to our wellbeing.

At Doris Jones, we understand the importance of balancing the care and support you depend upon, with gentle guidance on how to be as physically independent as you can be.

By combining traditional care services with expertise in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, we can help you gain greater control over your life and stay safely in the place you are happiest.

This, we believe, is care as it should be.
